Fisheries Management
Regulations and practices for sustainable exploitation of fish stocks, balancing harvest with population regeneration.
Real World
The EU's Common Fisheries Policy sets annual Total Allowable Catches (TACs) for North Sea cod; quotas were cut by 47% in 2020 to allow stock recovery after years of overfishing.
Exam Focus
When evaluating management strategies, always consider enforcement limitations — illegal, unreported and unregulated (IUU) fishing undermines quota systems.
